Objectives: To compare the diagnostic value of ultrashort echo time (UTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the lung versus the gold standard computed tomography (CT) and two T1-weighted MRI sequences in children.
Methods: Twenty-three patients with proven oncologic disease (14 male, 9 female; mean age 9.0 + / - 5.
Aim: To evaluate the technical and clinical success of embolisation in patients with life-threatening spontaneous retroperitoneal haematoma (SRH) and to assess predictors of clinical outcome.
Materials And Methods: Thirty patients (mean age: 71.9±9.
Objective: Prostate lesions detected with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) are classified for their malignant potential according to the Prostate Imaging-Reporting And Data System (PI-RADS™2). In this study, we evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the mpMRI with and without gadolinium, with emphasis on the added diagnostic value of the dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE).
Materials And Methods: The study was retrospective for 286 prostate lesions / 213 eligible patients, n = 116/170, and 49/59% malignant for the peripheral (Pz) and transitional zone (Tz), respectively.
Purpose: Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is a radiation-free alternative to the Tc-HDP bone scan (BS) for the detection of bone metastasis. The major drawback is the long examination time and application of gadolinium enhancer. The aim of this study is to analyze (i) the performance of WB-MRI versus the BS and (ii) the diagnostic benefit of gadolinium (WB-MRI + Gd) compared to a non-enhanced protocol (NE WB-MRI).
